Smart, stylish concrete flooring

Don’t cover your concrete with other materials that will eventually require replacement. Work with what you have. No other surface can resist chipping, discoloring, warping and staining like a concrete floor can. Simply infuse your concrete with character using Granicrete stains and dyes. Stylish interiors, patios, pool decks, walkways, even driveways are just a stain away.

Stains provide a unique finish every time. Compliment your decor with stains in neutral colors such as browns and grays, or go bold with dyes in blues, greens and reds. Colors can be mixed to create natural stone, marble or leather effects.

Get the luxurious look of large tiles without the hassle of grout by adding decorative saw cuts. Using a concrete saw, shallow lines are cut into your existing slab to create custom tile patterns or borders.

Cover imperfections like minor cracks, chips and patches with a Granicrete overlay that provides a fresh canvas. Overlays achieve lighter and more vibrant hues while creating a smooth, seamless finish or a tile or stone design with texture.

Stained concrete floors provide resistance to moisture, stains, mold and bacteria. They are great for those with allergies, as concrete floors won’t trap allergens.

Stains penetrate the top layer of concrete, providing a permanent color. They are sealed to reduce wear and make cleaning a breeze. Reseal exteriors about every two years and just sweep and hose them off to keep clean. Maintain interior floors by sweeping, mopping and keeping a coat of wax over the sealer.
